In children with congenital deafness, cochlear implantation (CI) prior to 12 months of age offers the opportunity to foster more typical auditory development during late infancy and early childhood. Recent studies have found a positive association between early implantation and expressive and receptive language outcomes, with some children able to achieve normal language skills by the time of school entry. Universal newborn hearing screening improved early detection and diagnosis of congenital hearing loss, allowing for earlier intervention, including decision-making regarding cochlear implant (CI) candidacy.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores how listening to music and white noise impacts brain connectivity in neonates using scalp electroencephalography (EEG) in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
- Nine neonates, who were already being monitored with continuous EEG, listened to lullaby-like music and white noise for one hour each, with two-hour breaks in between.
- Results indicated significant changes in brain connectivity in specific frequency bands (theta, lower alpha, upper alpha) when comparing music to white noise and white noise to no sound, although no differences were found between music and no sound.
